Medical Misogynoir: The Cherise Doyley Story
In this episode, Madigan tells the birth story of Cherise Doyley.
After hours of labor, doctors worried that Cherise was experiencing a uterine rupture, and doctors recommended a cesarean section.
However, Cherise declined the risky operation.
Hours later, while still in labor, she was on a zoom call with a judge.
Learn about Cherise Doyley's story, and the history of the intersections of sexism and racism within medical history.

Dolores Huerta
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual assault. Please listen with this with care.
In this week’s episode, Madigan shares the story of Dolores Huerta. The Dolores we knew for many years as a labor union leader, a public speaker, and an activist... and the Dolores we learned of just over a week ago. A survivor of sexual assault by a leader, while under the pressure of upholding an entire movement.
